10:06.49cp15_Good morning
10:09.15cp15_Hi immolo, are you there?
10:16.54*** join/#htc-blueangel _cronos_ (n=cronos@81.56.243.252)
10:20.33ohoHi cp15_
10:21.41cp15_Hi oho
10:22.51ohoI played a bit with gomunicator in glade and looked at the code --- it is quite messy
10:23.24cp15_Sure it is
10:23.30cp15_Any improvement is welcome
10:23.45ohodo you think we should seperate the functionality for the BA from the functionality of other devices ?
10:23.51ohoor are they very similar ?
10:23.57cp15_Absolutely
10:24.14cp15_Don't think so
10:24.40cp15_The encapsulation and decapsulation is BA specific, and the vibrator works probably different on other platforms too
10:25.09ohook - I will look into how we could impliment a config option and make more stuff available for the BA
10:25.31ohoi looked at the cvs stamps and no one seems to be working on it at the moment
10:25.46cp15_Actually some kind of autodetection would be nice
10:26.01ohook
10:26.27cp15_It worked so far for me (minus some problems of course) so I didn't change much last time
10:26.47cp15_But I know the code isn't very pretty
10:26.48ohobut as we said before, there is still quite a bit missing
10:27.00cp15_Like?
10:27.20ohoprovider name, signal strength
10:27.35cp15_Provider name works for me, signal strength doesn't
10:27.38ohoa nicer gui
10:27.44cp15_Yeah :-)
10:28.51ohoI will work on it and let you know how I get on. Do you  know where to get write access to the cvs from ? first I will just do the changes localy, but in the long run I will to use the cvs
10:29.32cp15_Write to w4xy and ask him. Unfortunately I am no administrator for xanadux and can't give you access
10:29.48ohook will do - thanks

10:47.06cp15_oho: Do you plan to come to the CCC Congress between christmas and new year?
10:52.08ohohmmm... I don't think so, due to lack of time. I have been to two camps which was fun
10:52.38cp15_Have you been at WTH?
10:52.44bweghmorning, cp15_
10:52.57cp15_Morning bwegh
10:53.03ohobut if i get a cheap flight I might, as I have a few friends in the berlin ccc
10:53.12ohohi bwegh
10:53.16bweghhi oho
10:53.22ohono I haven't been to wth yet
10:54.04cp15_In which part of the uk are you? Flights from London to Berlin should be quite cheap
10:55.30cp15_Probably I will give a little talk about linux on the BA
10:55.31ohoI am actually German and will go home over xmas. I live near Karlsruhe
10:55.50ohowould be interested in listening to that
10:56.28bweghoho, you live near Karlsruhe? where?
10:56.39ohoBad Herrenalb
10:56.46cp15_Hope we get a better gomunicator till then
10:56.47bweghDurmersheim here
10:56.53ohois about 30 minutes from KA
10:57.07bweghits betwenn Rastatt and Karlsruhe
10:57.11bweghi know it, oho ;)
10:57.43ohocp15_: Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl ;-)
10:57.51ohodon't know what that is in English
10:58.11ohobwegh: been to Durmersheim before
10:58.28ohoit's a small world
10:58.45bweghoho: what for? normaly you dont go to Durmersheim - except three things: a girl, lamm or xxl sports bar
10:59.32cp15_oho: www.leo.org knows it: "to give a broad hint"... But not as nice as the german one
10:59.38bweghmaybe motoball or tennis could be reasons to do there, too
10:59.45ohoI drove through it once, can't remember what I was doing
11:00.02bweghhehe
11:00.10ohocp15_: yeah, but still that's not the same
11:00.34cp15_oho: What are you doing in UK?
11:00.58ohoI am doing a PhD in CS
11:01.40cp15_In what area?
11:02.54ohoContext aware systems and Artificial Immune Systems
11:03.45ohoI am doveloping memory structures and profiling systems to capture behaviour of users
11:04.28cp15_Sounds interesting
11:04.52ohoyes it is really good fun
11:05.07cp15_Then you definetly have the right skills to improve gomunicator
11:05.22ohowould be nice to get the BA working for my project ;-)
11:05.38ohocp15_: hope so, but I am not the greatest C fan
11:05.46ohoI really like python
11:06.07ohobut time is always an issue
11:06.16cp15_Like here
11:06.55ohobut if some thing is fun ....
11:08.06cp15_If I would sum up what I could have earned when doing something for customers instead of hacking the BA it would be a very expensive project
11:08.52ohocan imagine, but I see it as a hobby
11:08.57cp15_But the BA is a nice device, and of course I don't want to use windows :-)
11:10.08ohosame here, I started developing my prototype for win CE, but they don't give you any real access to the BT and wifi layers
11:10.19ohoalso it crashes at least once a day
11:12.21cp15_I was told access to the camera is also a hot topic, since HTC offers no APIs for this
11:13.04ohoI am not too worried about the camera, but it would indeed be nice to get it working
11:13.39ohoI still don't understand why they are not just releasing the specs, as some one will find them out sooner or later anyway
11:13.46cp15_It would be really nice if the resolution would be high enough to scan a barcode. But it isn't
11:14.20ohothere are low resolution barcodes available
11:15.00cp15_Yeah, but I was thinking of something like this: Out of sugar? Just make a photo of the barcode and you will get it on your shopping list
11:15.22ohoyeah that would be nice
11:15.33ohodo you know what resolution is needed for that ?
11:16.13cp15_Don't know... Maybe it even works, because last time I tried I used a barcode with more information
11:16.41ohobut as you said before, the camera needs to work first
11:17.19ohois any one working in it ?
11:17.45cp15_Taking a photo shouldn't be too difficult. The Camera is probably connected to SSP, there is a driver for linux existing, so you just have to connect the loose ends
11:17.51ohobut what I need first is the wifi - hope the hx4700 guys make some progress soon and we can just use the code ;-)
11:18.32cp15_Making movies is another thing. The video port is probably connected to the ATI chip which has no public documentation
11:19.05cp15_I think we will get wifi sooner than the hx4700 people
11:19.40ohowould be very nice
11:19.46cp15_We have already a driver which does something... But not yet the thing it should
11:20.21cp15_Extending gomunicator to work over voip when at home and over gsm when not is the thing I would like to see
11:20.38ohosounds promising

14:09.36ohocp15_ : I thought a bit about your suggestion of integrating SIP into the gomunicator. How about the other way around ? There is for instance a nice sip client called minisip around, which could be extended to handel GSM calls. As this work is more or less complete it would be a shame not to use the code
14:17.23Funklordmost of the sip/voice stacks I've tried are broken
14:17.58Funklordthey have flaky sound support and focus too much on the protocol
14:19.22ohohave you tried minisip ?
14:19.42Funklordno
14:20.12ohoI think the stacks only provide the core functions and the rest needs to be implemented byt the application
14:20.26oholook here: http://www.gnu.org/software/osip/doc/html/
14:21.52FunklordI'd like a sip stack with native jack support
14:22.00Funklordie. non-blocking
14:22.41ohoI don't know off one - I just started looking at it
14:23.25ohowhen improving gomunicator I think we should at least keep the extension for sip calls in mind
14:23.45Funklordoho: I agree fully =)
14:24.02FunklordI've been using kphone in windows ce
14:24.14ohoI like skype in CE
14:24.17Funklordmy home phones are sip based
14:24.43ohobut as gomunicator is a bit of a mess, I thought it might be better to start from the other end
14:25.36Funklordafaik gomunicator doesn't handle sound at all?
14:25.59Funklordonly controls serial devices and mixers
14:26.50ohoyes
14:27.43Funklorderm before, I meant sjphone not kphone, obviously =P
14:28.15ohowould like to see kde on CE
14:29.07Funklordanyhow I believe some serious thought needs to be put into mixing, sound paths and api to use on the BA to get a good calling experience
14:29.53FunklordI believe the best way to do it would be to use jack as an audio server
14:30.03ohoagree - I don't know much about that yet, but I have begun to read up on it
14:30.49ohojack seems to be very light weight - which is good
14:31.22Funklordand it doesn't suffer from latency
14:32.07Funklordimagine if you stack 3 filters on your phone call, the latency would be like 2sec
14:32.09ohoI will have a look how the minisip guys have done it
14:32.29Funklordunless the filters are hard-coded into the app
14:34.02ohobut def. some proper planing is required
14:58.27cp15_oho: Haven't looked at minisip, but the functionality of a sip phone is usually pretty simple, way too simple for using it with gsm
15:00.50ohocp15_ : I will look into it further and try to come up with a good hybrid design

16:52.45Funklordit's salary weekend, so I'm happy
16:52.54Funklordyou going out?
16:53.35cp15In a few minutes I will go to a few friends
16:53.40cp15But tomorrow I have to work
16:56.17Funklordah, bummer =P
16:56.32FunklordI'm employed atm, so don't need to worry about weekend work
16:57.09cp15Well, there are lot of tasks you can only do at the weekend
16:57.39cp15But it gets a bit too much the last months
16:58.09ohoyou need to relax at least one day a week :-)
16:58.42cp15I relaxed already enough this week :-)
16:59.10ohoso no excuse not to work then ;-)
17:00.13Funklordwhen I was self-employed I used to sit in a cafeteria all day long and work, about 15h a day
17:00.45cp15In a cafeteria? Don't think its the right location for work
17:01.06Funklordit's very relaxing
17:01.18cp15And probably disturbing...
17:01.23Funklordand I had all our company lines there via wireless and sip

17:02.48ohowhich sd card reader have you guys got ? I am getting fed up using my h3900 as a writer
17:04.01cp15I have a cheap one which fits in a 5 1/4" mount and has also usb, firewire, serial and some other connectors at the front
17:05.06cp15It works ok, but misses the first card insert. You have to rmmod usb-storage and then modprobe it again
17:05.19ohoah ok - so most of them should work then. I think I will buy a cheap usb one
17:05.34cp15If you change the card later it is recognized
17:05.56immolomy usb one works fine expect sometime I have to mount twice
17:06.10immolonot an issue if you use dbus and hal
17:06.18Funklordhmm.. I never had any weirdness with mine
17:06.28cp15Yes, all card readers I know use the usb-storage, sometimes there are problems with card changes
17:06.39Funklordbut I've had a couple that didn't work at all
17:06.49cp15Hi immolo, good to see you back. How are you and you daughter?
17:07.15immolowe are both fine now
17:07.23immologood to see you also cp15

17:08.31immolohey oho
17:09.21immolocp15-  not yet, I did my backup so fast I suptidly forgot permissions carrying across
17:09.50cp15When do you think you have fixed it?
17:11.14cp15Because I have made already a lot of changes to your last image and want to make a clean integration before the changes get too many.

22:13.41lamikrHi
22:15.26iclemlamikr: Hi
22:16.59lamikrHave you ever used gomunicator for sending SMS messages?
22:17.45iclemI've never used Gomunicator at all  =)
22:17.55iclemsorry, can't help
22:18.28lamikrWell, no problem :-)
22:18.38lamikrDo you have blueangel?
22:31.33lamikrcp15: Are you online?
22:32.06iclemlamikr: no, himalaya
22:33.03lamikriclem: What kind of device is himalaya? Does it have intel hardware?
22:33.54iclemlamikr: yes, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya
22:35.41lamikrnice looking device. Are you able to boot it to Linux?
22:36.21iclemyes, using either the xda-dev kernel or the blueangel one
22:36.41iclembut not GUI
22:38.09lamikrSo you are able to connect it with SSH/telnet but do not yet have lcd driver?
22:40.09iclemlcd is working, as I see kernel boot log
22:41.23iclembut I don't know if current kernel support himalaya hw as well as blueangel hw
22:43.09iclemi've sshed on it, tried to load some modules
22:43.21iclembut i've no idea on how load GPE or OPIE
22:43.35lamikrOk... But basically you should be able to boot also to X if you have LCD driver.
22:46.28iclemhow do you do it ?
22:47.50lamikrI have ipaq h6340 by myself. It is very different hardware from TI. I am building GPE rootfs by myself by using oe build system. After the gpe image is ready I just extract it to my MMC card or NFS partition. After that I usually install latest kernel over it and just boot the kernel with command that asks to mount the rootfs where the gpe is extracted. After that gpe's initscripts take care from the rest.
22:49.05iclemI've not managed to boot with rootnfs yet, i will give a try
22:49.18iclemwhat is oe  ?
22:49.25iclemopenembeded ?
22:51.17lamikrYes, oe.handhelds.org. Basically it is a huge build system that you can install to your computer and issue command "bitbake gpe-image" ---> Wait many hours that gpe is build.
22:51.56lamikrIt consist of 3 different things.
22:52.34iclemOk, i'm not sure fd and ts are operational for himalay but it can be the test
22:52.45lamikr1) monotone is used as a distributed version control repository. (Many people do not like from it because it is quite slow)
22:53.28lamikr2) Then there is bitbake that is written with python... You can compare bitbake to "make"...
22:55.50lamikr3) Then there is this huge build dependency and bitbakes makefile collection... Basically there is a task called gpe-image which is dependent from many apps, and each apps may have their own dependencies to libraries etc... So when you start building gpe-image for example, oe will first start to build glibc and crosscompiler for you and then continue from that...
22:58.35lamikriclem: Yes, I recommend testing it. I have once spends weeks for trying to get working gpe rootfs by building everything from scratsch, and with OE things are just much more simpler and automatic.
23:00.03lamikrAfter you have bitbake and monotone installed, you need to download the monotones initial db... That is slow process that may take hours. So better just to leave it downloading and go to sleep.
23:00.31iclemok, what do I need else ? I have a compiled a xscale crosstoolchain and kernel-2.6, may it work ?
23:01.26lamikrYes, it should work... But actually all you should need is your x86 gcc, as oe will build the crosstoolchain for you...
23:01.55iclemgood news, i will give a try
23:02.19lamikrAfter you have downloaded the oe.db (it is the repository), you can extract the current build script head from that to your harddrive.
23:04.14lamikrThen you need to find out whether your device has already the machine configuration file in oe. Thet are listed in directory org.openembedded.dev/conf/machine (currently there is about 70 different)
23:06.08lamikrEach of these machine configuration files, describe the kernel that the machine wants to build, what kind of compiler instructions the kernel needs, etc.
23:07.27lamikrOnce you have found your device from the list or made new one, you need to make one more file... It is called local.conf and there you describe where is the temp dir, oe can use for building, where it can put sources it downloads from net, etc...
23:08.34lamikrI recommend reserving own temp dir for oe, as actually it will put there also all usefull things, like crosstool, libraries it builds and also the final image that gets build.
23:09.41lamikr...and reserve 5-6 gig space for oe to build stuff!!! Sources will only take about 500 mb, but once oe extract them and build them, it takes suprisingly lot of space...
23:10.28lamikrThere is pretty good doc at http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted
23:10.53lamikrHuh, I am ready with my "intro to oe" :-)
23:11.16iclemI'm on it
23:11.48iclemmany thanks
23:12.29lamikrNo problem... :-) If you want to listen, I could still list the dirs that are most interesting ones...
23:12.54iclemyes ;) go on
23:14.04lamikr1) Oe will build crosscompiler stuff that it uses to tmp/cross dir. I am actually using that for building other stuff also. PB15 gave info how he uses that for building gomunicator, and it worked ok also for me.
23:14.34lamikr2) Final image will be build to tmp/deploy/image dir
23:15.20lamikr3) Separately installable packages that can be installed with "ipkg" tool will be put to tmp/deploy/ipk dir . (ipkg is a little similar to rpm)
23:16.17lamikr4) machine configs are in org.openembedded.dev/conf/machine dir
23:17.24lamikr5) Install info for different apps are under /org.openembedded.dev/packages dir. There is very huge list of different kernels available for example in /org.openembedded.dev/packages/linux dir
23:18.05lamikr6) Build scripts for images that tide up several apps are in /org.openembedded.dev/packages/meta dir
23:19.07lamikrBut basically by following http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted should help you get started. And if you have problems you can go to "oe" irc channel or "gpe" channel to ask help.
23:20.23lamikrThat's it :-)
23:21.25iclemwow, it announce some good nights for me ;)
23:22.30lamikrYes, but if things work you can actually go to sleep, and let oe to build :-)
23:24.17iclemnow I just hope current kernel is ready for gui
23:24.24iclemagain, many thanks
23:25.04lamikrBut oe is not as perfect I propably get it sound, but for getting basic framework up it is best that I know... The apps that are in the distro have also some bugs, and sometimes somebody commits in something that fails to compile... But then you can either try to fix it or wait fix from somebody else and continue build after that.
23:25.22lamikrNo problem :-)
23:27.26lamikrI am myself in stuck with sending sms messages. I got gomunicator communicating with the gsm module of my device yesterday nicely... When I try to send sms message everything seems to go fine. But after last command is send from gomunicator to gsm module, it returns error code 21 and refuses to send the sms :-(
23:28.04lamikrI just do not see what is going wrong as things should go just like it is documented.

23:38.21lamikrHi cp15
23:39.19cp15Hi lamikr
23:39.44iclemhi cp15
23:39.52cp15Hi iclem
23:40.06cp15So some answers...
23:40.16lamikrWith small changes I got the gomunicator talking nicely with my gsm module. But when I try to send
23:40.30lamikranswers?
23:40.40cp15For the questions I found in the log
23:40.44iclemhowtos
23:40.57cp15for the sms problem: Maybe you need to set the sms central
23:41.44cp15iclem: for the himalaya: llange is working on it, I give you his email address via PM
23:42.21iclemiilange ? yes i've noticed his interest in kernel-discuss archives
23:43.08cp15llange, I think
23:43.26iclemright
23:43.44lamikrcp15: I made small changes to gomunicator and put it to send sms center phoenumber just before sending the sms pdu but I did not noticed any differences. Do you get sms messages sent if you put that?
23:44.29cp15Haven't tried it, but sms sending in general works for me
23:44.53cp15I will see if I can find out what error code 21 means
23:46.30cp15invalid index
23:46.45lamikrThanks... After pdu and "\032" are send to gsm module, I get this: CMS ERROR: 21
23:47.51cp15Maybe the phone can't assing a sms id by itself
23:48.37lamikrcp15: Hmm, could it be that... I needed to make small changes to init code.
23:49.09cp15Try setting p->pid in pdu_new to a value different from 0
23:49.50cp15What changes?
23:51.33lamikrWait, I will compile and test.
23:52.58lamikrp->pid change did not help, same error.
23:53.20cp15Hmm...
23:54.27cp15Ah... Got a better explanation for the CMS ERROR 21
23:54.33cp1521 - "Short message transfer rejected"
23:54.33cp15This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause does not wish to accept this short message, although it could have accepted the short message since the equipment sending this cause is neither busy nor incompatible.
23:54.45cp15But not really useful
23:55.22lamikrI needed to change command AT+CPMS="SM", "SM", "SM" to AT+CPMS="SM" as the first one was returning error.
23:55.48cp15Have you tried to set it to something else?
23:55.59cp15Maybe it can't buffer the sms on the sim card
23:58.02cp15Try AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME"
